09 March 2005 - The Apache Directory Project Exits Incubator
The Apache Directory team proudly announces the Apache Directory project graduated incubation under the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) according to the ASF Board Summary for February 23, 2005.
Our primary vision is to build an enterprise directory server platform (Apache Directory Server) and its components where other Internet services snap in to store their data within the directory so they may be managed using LDAP. Those services include LDAP itself, DNS, DHCP, SLP, UDDI, NTP, and most importantly Kerberos, which can integrate with the services to provide full-featured network authentication service.
Features of Apache Directory Server:
- Designed as an LDAP and X.500 experimentation platform.
- The server exposes all aspects of administration via a special system backend.
- Both the backend subsystem and the frontend are separable and independently embeddable.
- Provides a server side JNDI LDAP provider which directly interacts with the backend storage.
- Powered by MINA, a powerful framework for building Internet protocol servers.
Coming soon:
- Remote management via JMX.
- Java-based triggers and stored procedures.
The Apache Directory team is looking for developers and users to work with the server and give feedback. Mailing list information is at: http://directory.apache.org/mailing-lists.html
